I am trying to compile a Windows Phone 8 app on Visual studio 2012 but I keep getting an error stating that I need a 64bit machine running Windows 8 pro… but I have a 64bit machine running Windows 8.
Is there a Windows 8 Pro? There is only an Win8 Pro (Upgrade) and from the MSDN Downloads there are only Win8 and Win8 Enterprise.
